She was an iron screw steamer Of 4,495

equipped with compound engines Of 600
horsepower. She measured 432 feet
over all, Nas A feet IN moulded width of
beam, and 36'ieet deep from spar deck
TO keel. She was built in 1s7f~at Pat
rick, on the Clyde, near Glasgow, >hy
Messrs. Tod s McGregor. When new
she was one Of the finest boats on the
ocean ferry, but her speed was not great,
and for some years past she has
been kept in reserve as an extra
boat, for use when one Of the more
modern vessels Of the line was laid up.
She originally had fine accommodations
for 200 cabin passengers, but Of late
years, as on her last trip, carried only in
sermediate and steeragc passengers. She
carried when burned, a miscellaneous
cargo, which included 1000 bales Of cot
ton, and was COMMANDED by Capt. Fran
els Land. Six Of the crew aud six Of the
passengers put of in boat and have
never been heard Of. There were no other

Is supposed TO be the result Of minerals

House Cave neighborIood there are over
one hundred cases, with thirty deaths.
Crops are neglected and farm work is at

Queen Victoria Receives a Plain American
Citizen, Who Presented an Address.
Mr.. Collier, of Chicago, was granted
an audience by the Bueen at the Osborne
house, when he presented to her majesty
an address of Chicagoans of British birth
and parentage in honor of her jubilee.
The queen then. handed O document to
Mr.. Collier, which read as follows: ~
thank you for the ADDRESS you have pre-
sented to me. Coming, as it does, from
persons of English birth beyond the seas,
who retain feelings of love for their
mother country, and sympathy for her
welfare. ! receive it with pleasure and
satisfaction. That the people of Chicago
should have given expression tn these
kind sentiments, not only toward the
Anglo-Saxon race in these realms, but
also toward myself, is to me source Of
much qualification, and sustqins me in
the belief that the friendship and good
will which now exists between the two
countries, and which have always en-
deavored to promote, are of real and
enduring character Mr.. Collier was
driven to Cowes in the royal carriage.
He returned to London in the evening.
Being asked If he kissed the queens
hand, he replied: "No; that would be
improper, as am not a British subject.
| am proud to be an American citizen"

Balfour. chief secretary for Ireland,
announced in the House Of Commons
that the government had proclaimed the
Irish National League. The Govern
ment had thus taken the power conferred
upon them by that statute to prohibit
and suppress the League. The Pail Mall
Gazette very vigorously attacks the gov
ernment party for adopting in the House
Of Commons the Earl Of Cadogan's
amendment TO the Irish Land bill relat-
ing to town parks. The Gazette urges the
Liberals to revolt against the govern
ment's Irish policy in the House Of Com
mons, to obstruct the passage of supplies
measures. and thus force dissolution.
Mr. Parnell, said ilat the action Of the
government in proclaiming the League
was gratuitious insult TO the
Irish, considering the present condition
OF Ireland. Il was merely move TO
cover the weakness OF the land bill. III
the bill did not protect tenants from
eviction, trouble would be inevitable dur
ing the coming winter. A riot occurred
at Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland, and
mob attacked and stoned the barracks
where the police were quartered.
The police charged with drawn
swords upon the rioters, injuring many
Of them and arresting a number.
The Irishmen OF Liverpool adopted
resolutions protesting against the proc
lamation Of the Irish National League.
Similar resolutions were adopted at a
meeting Of radicals in London. A dele
cation OF members OF the English home
rule union will soon visit Ireland in order
TO give expression to the goodwill Of
English liberals toward the Irish. A
public reception viii be given the dele
cation In Dublin on September 18th, at
which the Lord Mayor will preside. Mr..
Gladstone's declaration in favor Of the
Channel tunnel is, whatever else may be
said Of il, tactical mistake. Till he
spoke, the great majority Of Englishmen
regarded the tunnel scheme as dead and
buried and took humorous view of Cir
Edward Waikins's fifful effort at resur-
rection. Mr. aladstoneb language re-
wives their fears. There are large mum.
bers Of EnRlishmen who consider
the question whether q tunnel shall be
made under the channel as considerably
more vital than the question whether
Ireland shall have home rule. The effect
Of Mr.. Gladstone's uncalled-for profession
Of faith in this scheme will be 20 ALLEVIATE

SAVED FROM DEATH.
The boat from the City Of Montreal Res
cned by d German Vessel.

}s cMtu by u etFmuu tcus0fs
The City Of Montreal's missing boat
has been picked up and the seven pas
sengers and six members Of the crew,
who were in it, are safe and well. The
rescue was made by q German vessel,
named Mathilde, which arrived at Fal-
mouth, England, with the thirteen sur
vIyors on board. The survivors say, that
on the first day after leaving the steamer,
they experienced very rough weather.
They had plentiful supply of bread and
meat, but very little water. As a conse-
quence they suffered badly from thirst.
The weather was hot, and this greatly
contributed to their discomfort. The
rescued men say that when their boat
left the burning steamer, there were fif-
teen persons on board. Finding it too
crowded, two persons jumped aboard an
other boat. There was only half leg
of water in the boat, and that was bad.
There was no sail aboard and no means
for signalling passing vessels. The boat
was nearly swamped twice aud the men
had hard struggle to keep her afioat by
bailing. Two days after leaving the
steamer, sighted another vessel and pulled
toward it and found that it was the City
of Montreal, still burning. They tried
to board her to obtain more water, but
her plates were too hot.

aUARTETTE OF ACCIDENTS.


=. 4 Z.
Emigrant train No. SO, going ON the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, ran into a
freight train at the Easton siding, twenty
miles east of Wheeling, w. Va. A. f..
Smith, engineer of the emigrant train,
and Isaac Arbuthnot, fireman, were in.
stantIy killed. The engineer and fireman
of the freight tram were only slightly in-
jured. Fifteen of the emigrants are
seriously, but none were fatally hurt.
Smith and Arbuthnot lived in Wheeling
where they have families. The accident
was the result of misapprehension Of
orders on the part Of the engineer of the
freight train, who thought he had the
right-of-way and pulled out of the siding
just as the emigrant train came up. The
Baltimore s. Ohio express train which
left Pittsburg, Pa, jumped the track at
Hermitage station, six miles east of Con-
nelsville, badly wrecking the engine and
and baggage cars, which went over an
embankment. One passenger coach was
derailed, but none of the passengers were
injured. The train men escaped by
Jumping, the only person hurt being the
fireman, who broke his leg. A passen-
ger train on the Peoria, Decatur & Evans
vile Railroad was derailed near Salt
creek, No. The engine and all the cars
left the rails while going forty miles an
hour. Fortunately, the entire train re-
mained on the grade and came to stand
still, after bumpingon the ties two hun
dred feet. Search was made for the
cause OF the accident and was discovered.
The fish plates and spikes had been re-
moved from the rails. In weeds on the
bank crowbar and other tools were
found, with which the work had been
done. There is no doubt the purpose of
the fiends was to rob the train. Afreight
train following close behind was stopped
few yards from the derailed passenger
train, and thus what might have been a
horrible disaster was ayc-ted. On the

His eyes came in contact with II, but
rested there but a second only. Then
they rolled quickly away aud about the
cell. As quickly, however, they re-
turned to the picture, and then away
again. A fascination drew his eyes to-

feeling carried them away. The fascina-
ton mastered the situation, and in less
time than it takes to tellit, the prisoners
eyes were riyeted upon the picture. The
gaze was intent and steady, and as the
outlines began TO be defined, Voolfolk
began to tremble. The tremble soon be-
came a shake, and raising both hands to

bloody vision, he turned upon his heels,
